| I cried every night Endless fears flow down my cheek Unpleasant memories keep occurring I feel injured inside No ear will be willing to hear this My conscience will not accept my apology my heart pumps bitterness Regrets and guilt flow into my veins and arteries Because of the untold fear of tomorrow My brain thinks trice as normal giving me an impression that so many ears have heard(even when none have heard) Also an indication that all eyes are on me that I cannot wait to see them behold me I tried imagining myself never venturing into such act but it was too late for such an imagination to set in What can I say was i not warned? What can I do has the deed not been done How can I kill my conscience when I was left with two options either to go ahead or withdraw from going ahead Now I realise I was wrong Whom do I open up to How do I set my conscience free My soul is on fire My heart is going down the grave My feet are sinking even in the absence of earthquake This is as a result of a cube of pleasure I saw and never bordered asking myself the future effect before going ahead swallowing it What a bitter experience « return. |
